    Hi

    I'm new to postfix (having used qmail for several years). In my old setup
    I had maildrop rules that are run on addresses which I use to receive
    mailing lists. So for example, for an address that is used solely for
    receiving this list, the maildrop rules would check for the presence of
    these headers:

      Sender:
      Precedence: bulk
      List-Post: <mailto:>
      List-Help: <http://www.postfix.org/lists.html>
      List-Unsubscribe: <mailto:>
      List-Subscribe: <mailto:>

    If the check fails the mail is unlikely to have come from the list and is
    most likely spam (or a direct reply from someone on the list - which I
    don't want) and gets rejected.

    What I would like to know is, can something similar be implemented using
    postfix's header_checks? My reading of the docs suggests it can't be done
    because postfix only processes a single header at a time and makes a
    decision per header.

    Another thing is I would like to reject mails don't have a "Subject:"
    header (or it is empty). Again, because of the way the header_checks are
    done I don't think I can check for the absence of a particular header?
